Howdy and welcome from Colorado. Good luck in your vehicle quest.

I was by my local CO-OP farm supply place and they will tear down and find/fix a flat in a split ring tube type rim for $35.00. More if the tire/tube is severely damaged requiring new parts. A lot of tractors still use split ring/split rims so they are pretty used to working on them. If you...

I can definitely see how a crushed grease zerk or plug might be missed with all the road crud splashed up in that area. Thanks again, I will check mine

I have had similar experiences with bad weight estimates on GL. With a little research you might be able to find an items true weight. I have done similarly and called the GL rep with my research info. They were very open to my info and adjusted the weight for shipping purposes. This helped...

Gringletaube-- you do amazing work and your thought process to make repairs and improvements is inspiring. Way beyond my expertise, tools and skill. That being said, I appreciate your suggestion for adding the grease zerk. I noticed on the drawing the "original" fill point. Does that need to...

I am not an expert by any means--is it possible water is in the fuel? I have heard it may collect in the bottom of the tank and sometimes get sucked into the pump. is that something you can check?

another thought is that the valve stem on the tube can get pinched and might move around as pressure changes with heat in the tire etc etc. so a careful process of "building" the tire tube combo as its assembled will have an impact on how well the assembly holds up. So yes your correct, the...

there are some threads on here and u tube vids that go over how to safely remove the tube from one of these rims. you might consider that as an option for a learning experience. that is one of the good things about a tube type tire. that fact that they can be repaired.

you might try a truck tire place like at a truck stop. some of the regular tire stores will be scared off when they find out what kind of rim it is. as it has a tube it should be able to be repaired rather than having to buy a new tire. my two cents

Howdy and welcome from Colorado. If the seller originally acquired it from the government you might ask him if he can request a form sf 97 from them for the vehicle.

Thanks. I want to confirm some dimensions and weights. I can drive on - drive off of an rgn. these MV's have fairly well designed tie down points. time and scheduling is not critical so I can wait till someone is available at their convenience. or if say they want to try to arrange a...

I have a tractor trailer( semi) I need shipped from Broomfield Colorado to Livermore Colorado. approx 100 miles on my odometer. The rig is 111" tall from the ground. I plugged it in to the estimator so I have a ballpark. I was wondering, for such a short haul, will it be pretty hard to get...

Great to hear you made it. Tenacity is your friend. Pretty good shakedown cruise. Hope your new post will be challenging and rewarding, much like your trip. Best wishes.

Hi and welcome from Colorado

apologies if I was not on track with the discussion. When I saw CASE in the description I mistakenly thought you meant the backhoe not the Case Mog version versus the freightliner mog version. carry on. Lots of nice, modern, low hours cat backhoes coming back as well. Military versions if...

If you get the right mog it will come with a hydraulic chain saw, large tree/wood bore, jack hammer with spade, rock drill and chisel points. not sure how useful that would be. the loader bucket can be disconnected and replaced with forks. the MB 94 can also have the bucket swapped with forks...

So I take it that the tow got you to somewhere that you could fix the fuel leak and whatever else needed work. Will be thinking of you as you go by! Have a good one!

Well done indeed!

Very sorry to hear of your breakdown. Hope it don't break the bank. Will be looking forward to updates.

while one end is still chained down you and a friend might lift the other end. then twist is lightly back and forth. then lay it back down and see if it is still level. A frame should be able to stand a bit of twist in regular driving and still return to the correct shape. unless this is a...
